Hot Halloween costumes in Pennsylvania

Pop culture picks from Wonder Woman, Avengers, Game of Thrones, Clueless, Black Panther and Deadpool are big in 2018, according to Wyatt Edwards of Halloweencostumes.com.

How do they figure out what's hot so far before Halloween? Here's the methodology, according to Edwards. "We start by looking at what people are searching for online. This is a combination of our own internal data from searches on our website and external data from sites like Google Trends. Then we compare those search trends to our own sales data. This lets us separate out what people search for but don't or can't actually buy."

"Of course, there's some guesswork involved, but we've been doing this for a decade now and we get better at it every year," Edwards said in an email.

Pennsylvania trends this year mimic national trends, Edwards said, with slight differences on ranking within the categories. All costume photos in this story are used courtesy Halloweencostumes.com.
